Old Tired Bastard I'm an old tired bastard but my body is still young Trying to run from all that went wrong But my blood would rather run thin All ye sinners all ye faithful Why can't we all agree on love? No more killing in vain or in Jesus' name I plead we all just fall down Down Sell me down the slow river Make sure I'm worth my weight in gold Try to realize revenge ain't no prize Every soul is worth its toil All ye tired all ye weary Just let your body fall down There's no shame & nobody would blame An honest man who's been knocked down Down I'm scared and I'm alone But don't you pity me Me feet have found solid ground And they will carry me All ye worn out all ye waiting The river's pull is strong Unfold your hands and swim for land Lest the water pull you down Down

Hesitating Hands Softly and sweetly… you’ve brought me to my knees Laying still at your window… fluttering eyes and touching feet Playlist upon playlist I’ve heard them a thousand times Somehow in this moment I hear them in a different light I get a little nervous when I hear the creaking floor I know we aren’t alone but it doesn’t matter anymore And tomorrow I know it’s different when we pass at the door And my heart still jumps though it’s torn Give me an answer he said I never meant to make you sorry though I have And these bright city lights still remind me of the night Your hesitating hands… brushed up to mine I’m afraid to let the world hear my songs… To sing them aloud and to be heard wrong So when I hesitate please know it’s not your fault, It’s just a wall I’ve built up strong and tall And my total lack of tact has worn me to my core Ashes upon ashes… a thousand cups on my porch And my ignorance has swept across my paling heart Adorned with a thousand fixtures to be there… forever more Give me an answer he said I never meant to make you sorry though I have And these bright city lights still remind me of the night Your hesitating hands… brushed up to mine I’m at your window and on your front porch In your bedroom on the floor I’m an island and I’m still and silent I never meant to bring you here

Like I Do 04:23
Like I Do if you never felt the pain of being the one to blame, my love you’d never feel the rain like I do or love the way it washes over you but you’d never fear love like I do and what it does to you you’d take shelter from the storm until the morn if you never felt safe if you never gave all you coulda gave to love no one could rip the pavement right out from under you the ground it would stay right under your shoes but you’d never feel love like I do and what it does to you you’d never walk on air you’d take the stairs your silence is worse than your hate please don’t ever make them wait for the truth I know exactly why you hesitate please just communicate and you’ll never fear love like I do and what it does to you every day you will say come what may

Long Winter 04:12
Long Winter It was a cold day back in September You wanted to walk outside to feel the sunshine on your face, but you took to a cold, and I didn't notice. I never notice these days Don't go away It'll be a long winter If you don't stay Yeah it'll be a long winter If you don't stay Well winter came the very next day She stole your footprints from when you walked away and I was OK because the springtime blossoms filled my thoughts on a city bridge with the sunrise

Water Veins 04:02
Water Veins Oh My God, is it raining again? Down on me, all around me. Water veins the glass. And I can’t see you very clearly. All the ghosts in my home throw voices like stones. Oh my God, the spitting wind. Come back again, it brings the cold in. These rattling panes won’t last. They can’t keep you from getting near me. All the ghosts in my home throw voices like stones.

If You Really You can sing me love songs 'till you’re blue in the face. You can tell me the color of my eyes, but never know what I think. You can send me roses, and I'll just let 'em die. You can write me letter after letter, and I'll read 'em with dry eyes. Cause I cannot have what I want, I cannot give you what you need. I feel like I've lost enough sleep, I did my penance paid my dues. For the things that I said to you were not always true. I've lost faith in feelings...love, hate and anger too. And I don't know when I lost everything maybe the day I lost you. But I cannot have what I want, You cannot give me what I need. Cause if you really knew me, then you would know, The things that consume me, is everything I know. So don't try to change me, It won't come easily at all. 'Cause I cannot have what I want, You cannot give me what I need.
